Talk About Price Gouging!

I just got home from watching "Guys and Dolls" at the Empress Theatre tonight, which by the way was fun. Our entire YSA Pod went to see the show for our monthly/quarterly activity. We filled up the theatre to capacity...what an AWESOME sight to see.

Any how I wanted to quickly share a little video clip that I just got in an e-mail from my Marketing Principles professor...It made me laugh!

Pay It Forward

I came across this on an awesome blog I like to read (The Heywood Home). I thought it was so cool that I'm doing it too. It combines two of my favorite things: creating and gift giving.

Here is how it works, the first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! Simple as that. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:1- What I create will be just for you.2- It'll be done sometime this year. (might be a little while)3- You have no clue what it's going to be and at this point, neither do I. It could be awesome, and it could be lame, but I promise it will at least look pretty!The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must PAY IT FORWARD. Repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who respond. I am so excited!

Valentines Concert

I went to this Valentines Concert and had a lot of fun. My uncle bought the tickets and I brought my friend Stephanie. We had reserved seating with Stephens Management Corporation.



Peter Brienholt brought Ryan Shuppe, David Tolk, Steven Nelson, and Nancy Hanson along. I had never heard their music before. It was good. I bought 4 CD's and a T-shirt.

I really like Steffon's music too. I have a demo CD of his music, and now I have the original.

St. George

A couple of weeks ago I joined three other friends on a weekend vacation to St. George. We had so much fun!

Kristi, Shana, Stephanie, Me

We stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn. It's the fanciest hotel I've ever stayed at. The beds had fancy pillows. We found the usual complimentary shampoo and conditioner, but there was also lotion and mouthwash. There was a refridgerator in the room. We were able to check our e-mail and Facebook messages on the computers provided in a business services room. There were exercise facilities with a television, sweat towels, water fountain, and an outdoor pool through the doors. By the front desk was a little convenience shop and a cafe. We were in heaven.

Friday, January 30: Arrive, Dinner @ Pizza Factory, Watched "Mall Cop" at the movie theatre.

I thought these flowers on the Temple Lot looked cool. They look like sponges to me.

I ran into Bethany on the White Rock Trail. She was on the Peer Leadership Team (PLT) at Cyprus High School with Crystal. Her mom was a counselor at the highschool.

Stephanie was the first one to find the letterbox. I was so excited. I'ts my first letterbox find outside of Salt Lake...and my 4th total. The stamp inside this letterbox was a tadpole. It was representative of the tadpoles that swim in the water when it collects from a small man-made dam. Letterboxing is so much fun!

Sunday, February 1: Visited a Student Ward meeting at the Institute Building at Dixie College. It was kind of a blind-date for Shana.

We stopped in Cedar City to see Cambrea and Braxton on the way home to Salt Lake. Braxton is so cute and fun to be around.

I also saw Cove Fort for my first time, as far as I know, when we stopped for a bathroom break. I only saw it from a distance as we drove by...We didn't take a tour.

Sudoku Addiction

I'm getting addicted to Sudoku as I keep playing it on my new Palm Centro (c) phone that I got for Christmas. I'm only a beginner, but I still enjoy it. I just downloaded some new puzzles to sync to my phone. While I was at the website I saw that I could add a Sudoku link to my blog. Enjoy!

Team Vault Presentation

I'm excited to say that I got an "A" in this class. Team Vault Rocks!

Happy Holidays!

I've had a lot of fun with Family and Friends these last several weeks...

My mom hosted with me at the Friendship Tree at the Festival of Trees.

My cousin's son Sutter from California. My dad's brother Paul and his family usually come to SLC every Christmastime. They come eat dinner with us one of the nights that they are in town. My aunt Pam owns her childhood home located in SLC so they come to stay at it often.

Zeke, Justin, and Stella--Crystal's family came over for dinner too.

My cousin Katil giving my dad a head-lock.

Justin & Crystal

My Jacob-Cousins' Katil & Tully

My Stephens-Cousin Jeff. The case he was working on settled earlier then expected, so his family surprised everyone by coming to SLC for Christmas. Brad came with them. They left for home after Carrie spoke in church for her "mission farewell." She's going to Brazil.

Benjamin (Jeff's son)

Claire (Jeff's Daughter)

Braxton & David--My brother and his family came to town the day after Christmas. They were still in town for Carrie's "farewell" too.

Braxton & Cambrea

Christmas Morning-Stella

Justin & Stella

Crystal, Zeke, Oscar, Felicity, Stella's head, Brody, and Maizy

My sister, Charity, gave my dad a puzzle of him picking his nose. It's been a big hit with all who see it.

Brody with his new puppy and slide. Felicity's family came to town on Christmas Eve.

Kit & Brody

Charity's friend gave her a "boyfriend" for Christmas. I thought it was a very creative gift. My brother-in-law Kit came across some huge diamond rings (keychains) and thought they were the perfect gifts for Charity and I.

I took Zeke and Maizy to see Santa vs. the Snowman in 3-D on the ATK IMAX Screen at Clark Planetarium. I believe this is our third year going to see it. We also ate lunch at Wendy's, took some money to the Road Home Shelter, rode TRAX a couple of blocks to see my dad at work at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and got kiddie cones at McDonalds when we got back home.

Maizy

Zeke

My last day with SLC International Department of Airports Finance Division. We had our Christmas Party this day too.

I got a cool Lava Lamp in the Gift Exchange.

Nephi from the American Continent comes to Testify of Jesus Christ and hand out Shepherd's Crooks to the Children at our Ward Christmas Party. I've never seen that before.
